These student materials complement the Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society Instructor Materials. If you would like your students to have access to the student materials, we suggest you either point them at the Student Version which omits the framing pages with information designed for faculty (and this box). Or you can download these pages in several formats that you can include in your course website or local Learning Managment System.

Steps in Task 1
- Create the forum organizing team
- Develop the agenda
In Task 1, we first need to identify a group of people who will be in charge of planning and organizing the forum. While anyone who is interested in post-disaster recovery can volunteer to join the forum organizing team, we should consider identifying leaders who come from one or more of these groups: emergency management, planning department, business development department, private companies and chambers of commerce, environmental organizations, public and social works, and neighborhood/community associations. Add your membership list to the worksheet.
The next step is to develop the general agenda and schedule for the forum. It is crucial to identify days and times that will work for most of the participants. The forum should be divided into two sessions because this helps the organizing team gather information and feedback from the first session and incorporate it in the second session; ideally, these sessions should be on different days, but that is not always logistically possible. The two sessions are developed in Task 4 and Task 6. The specific and detailed agendas for the two sessions are also discussed in Task 4 and Task 6. Add your general agenda and schedule to the worksheet.
